Listen as Duayne chats to ELEVATE members and partners Simon Jay, Belinda Head, Tony Ede, and Adam + Sarah Sharpe about their experiences of hiring and working with Virtual Assistants – how they found the right support, how they integrate VAs into their businesses, and the practical ways VAs help save time, reduce workload, and improve focus on high-value tasks.

This call is designed to help new members and anyone feeling stuck get practical insights, real examples, and simple ways to start making meaningful progress right away.

There are some key takeaways related to the turning points for themselves and their business, including:

• Realising that their business was operating on a day by day /week by week basis, without clear structure
• Changing your mindset and making assumptions on overheads and costs to knowing your numbers 
• Knowing your worth and that it is ok to say “no”
• Setting up systems to improve their business
• Enjoying the business again because of the PAC process
• Increasing overheads to plan for the future so can bring a VA onboard
• Hearing from other members what types of tasks their VAs are completing
• Using tools and apps with the VA to streamline processes and lift the professionalism in the business
• Getting tasks off our plate has enabled as to start planning for the future and seeing the bigger picture
